Webber hurts back, leaves Game 2 win

Sacramento took control of its series with the Utah Jazz--but at no small cost.

Peja Stojakovic scored 29 points, and Vlade Divac had 15 points as the Kings roared to a 108-95 victory over the Jazz on Monday night to take a 2-0 series lead.

But Chris Webber left in the second quarter with a strained lower back.

Webber had eight points when he landed awkwardly while battling Utah's Greg Ostertag for a rebound in the second quarter. Webber fouled Ostertag and immediately hobbled to the locker room.

SAN ANTONIO 84, PHOENIX 76

Series tied 1-1

San Antonio didn't stop Stephon Marbury, but the Spurs did make their free throws down the stretch Monday night, and that was enough for an 84-76 victory over Phoenix to even their Western Conference playoff series.

Two days after the Spurs missed six of their eight free throws in overtime, Tim Duncan scored half of his 22 points in the fourth quarter.

Stephen Jackson led the Spurs with 23 points. Duncan also had 12 rebounds, and Danny Ferry, starting in place of the injured David Robinson, had 10 rebounds. Marbury finished with 32 points. Penny Hardaway scored 17 points and Shawn Marion added 12 rebounds for Phoenix.

INDIANA 89, BOSTON 77

Series tied 1-1

After sitting on the bench for all but two minutes of the fourth quarter in the series opener, Reggie Miller showed Monday night that down the stretch is when he's needed most.
